			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chinese have made cheep ripoff of the Sony PlayStation 3, they call it &#8220;PolyStation 3&#8243;. This is not the first, and definitely this is not the last console ripoff, but can somebody stop these thiefs?</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/polystation-3.jpg" alt="PolyStation 3" /></p>
<p> The  PolyStation 3 can be connected to your TV, in fact it has small screen that pops out of the side. You need to hold the console with little screen in one, and the keyboard in other hand, so uncomfortably<span id="more-1431"></span>. This console don&#8217;t have nothing in common with PS3. The PolyStation 3 just look like PS3, but inside it looks like some 80&#8217;s console with tetris games.</p>
<p>Check out this video with PolyStation 3:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those who were excited over the movement options that the Nintendo Wii provided there is now another reason coming soon to cheer.  No the Wii will not be produced in enough quantities to satisfy consumers for Christmas around the world, but they have designed Wii Fit.  This is basically like a miniature gym in a box that works in conjunction with your Nintendo Wii.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/nitendowiifit.jpeg" alt="nitendowiifit.jpeg" /></p>
<p>Imagine all of the time you spent playing tennis and bowling in Wii Sports, and just imagine now addin<span id="more-1319"></span>g a balance bar to the mix so that you can accurately measure your movements and keep score. Now a fitness program in your home can be fun and exciting.  Plus consider who at heart really doesn’t like a good friendly competition?  With the ability to rack up scores and points in the game you can easily turn it into a lot of fun for the entire family.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/nitendowiifit2.jpg" alt="nitendowiifit2.jpg" /></p>
<p>No longer does the gym have to be boring, by integrating it into Wii Fit it is possible to have a lot of fun while still elevating your heart rate and working on toning up your entire body.  In a completely new way, Nintendo has taken the time to fine tune the Wii as well as other unique characteristics that are a part of it.  The overall package may not be available worldwide until 2008, but it is already turning a lot of heads in terms of uniqueness.There are even people around the world wondering if some of the skateboard games can start to use the balance board, and while only time will tell it remains a definite fact that Wii Fit is an eagerly anticipated addition to the Nintendo Wii.  For those who love the idea of expanding video game usage even more than it already is and breaking free of the racing and sports games that are typically played the Nintendo Wii Fit makes a great option to explore.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> While many people are looking for the latest and greatest video game systems around, Sony is looking for ways to improve upon the classics that they already have in their arsenal of great systems.  The latest victim on the surgical table of overhauls is slated to be the PlayStation 2, which is expected to be released in a newer as well as cheaper version in 2008.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/psp2compact.jpg" alt="Sony Compact PlayStation" /></p>
<p>The newest model is expected to be the smallest yet, and also the cheapest with an estimated price tag of only $99, which is well below the standard prices for the Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and even the PlayStation 3, consoles.  Offering the ability to still play all PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, but with a smaller and sleeker style, this is sure to be a great affordable option for many who have passed up buying a new PlayStation and instead wait impatiently for the PlayStation 3 to drop in price.<span id="more-1270"></span></p>
<p>While there is still no ability to play PlayStation 3 games on the newer consoles, they are coming at a great time for many, with PlayStation 3 prices so high they are still unaffordable for many, and with PlayStation celebrating its 7th birthday recently, many of the older consoles are slated to be replaced as parts start to really wear out.  This brings a great as well as affordable option to consumers around the world for keeping their cheaper and reliable system, while still having a piece of the newest technology.</p>
<p>One of the biggest changes that is expected aside from the obvious size difference is the power supply is expected to be built into the unit itself, which saves space, and is also designed to be cheaper to manufacture.  The integrated power supply is being given a lot of the credit for the cheaper model.  Overall, this is looking like a very wise decision for Sony so look forward to the newest Compact PlayStations to roll out sometime in 2008.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/sonydualshock.jpg' alt='Sony Dualshock 3 for Sony PS3' align="left" />In case you are a Play Station fan, you must treasure what Sony does for you. And Sony is planning for more, just to make you happy and satisfied with their products. The new PS3 is the latest invention that waits for you to try it. The Sony Dualshock 3 for Sony PS3 is an expansion of the Play Station 3, which is meant to be advertised at a lower price and to compete with the strong Play Station 2 and the available games. The Sony Dualshock 3 for Sony PS3 is a strong unit that even if a bit pricey will make it worth the while. </p>
<p>The most astonishing feature of the Sony Dualshock 3 for Sony PS3 is the rumble feature, which will make the user live inside the game and shake many times during the virtual game. In addition, the Sony Dualshock will support the motion sensing feature of the Sixaxis. The rumble feature is also available in virtual games such as Metal Gear Solid 4 (and MGS Online), Devil May Cry 4, echochrome, Ratchet &amp; Clank Future, Uncharted: Drake&#8217;s Fortune and Dynasty Warriors 6 or Burnout Paradise.<span id="more-1170"></span></p>
<p><img src='http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/sony3.jpg' alt='Sony Dualshock 3' /></p>
<p>The unit will also combine the technology and design of the Sony Company and will make a brand new, more alive game for those that are in the search of extreme sensations. In order to obtain the best Sony Dualshock 3 for Sony PS3, Sony has been doing a lot of research and has been asking for feedback from game publishers on a regular basis. Also, Sony got two game developrs, namely Evolution Studios Ltd. and its subsidiary Bigbig Studios Ltd. Evolution, which operate in the U.K and have released the highly successful Motor Storm game. This game will be featured on the Play Station 3 as well.</p>
<p>The unit will be available late 2007 (November in Japan) and at the beginning of 2008 (Europe and America), so have a little patience, the Sony Dualshock 3 for Sony PS3 is coming for you. Be careful, because the Sony Dualshock 3 for Sony PS3 will hit you hard!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/psp-slim_group.jpg" alt="PSP Slim and Lite handheld games console" align="left" />At a price of £129.99, the new PSP Slim and Lite handheld games console doesn’t bring much change to the already existing choice of portable game consoles. It is, if you wish, similar to a facelift of a popular car model, rather than a whole new model to replace the old one. It is slimmer and lighter than the previous PSP consoles you are used to, and this is truly a good thing, but many expected revolutionary new features to it, and they’re simply not there.</p>
<p>The screen size is excellent and the graphics displayed on it are close to what you’d get on a normal, desktop PC or home PSP. The PSP Slim and Lite handheld games console comes with a Wi-Fi connection that allows you to connect to the internet and you also get the Memory Stick slot which comes in very handy when you want to store photos or game saves on it. The back area of the console contains the UMD slot and the PSP Slim and Lite handheld games console has a simpler opening mechanism for it.<span id="more-1147"></span></p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/psp1402-550x-screenshot_182087.jpg" alt="PSP Slim and Lite handheld games console" /></p>
<p>The more compact PSP Slim and Lite handheld games console also allows you to output video from your PSP to a TV, however, you need to purchase the connector cable separately, as it is not included in the box. This is a bit of a disappointment, really. Another thing missing is a screen protector, so an investment in one is needed if you want to keep scratches of your portable PSP screen.</p>
<div><img src="http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/psp.jpg" alt="PSP Slim and Lite handheld games console" /></div>
<p>The PSP Slim and Lite was also launched as a direct competitor to the Nintendo DS. The larger screen and fancier graphics are above the levels offered by the DS, but the overall feeling of the PSP Slim and Lite handheld games console is that the manufacturer simply repainted an old piece of equipment, added a few new features and now sells it as new. By no means is the PSP Slim and Lite handheld games console a bad device, but considering its heritage everyone was expecting just a little bit more than what we received.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this article we are going to rate this product by it&#8217;s features, price, performance and design as an HD DVD player, not as a game console. If you want to find out more about Xbox 360 as a gaming machine, take a look at <a href="http://www.gamepro.com/microsoft/xbox360/games/features/50030.shtml" title="GamePro">GamePro</a> review.</p>
<p class="image_center"><img src='http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/xbox360_pg02.jpg' alt='Xbox 360 and HD DVD Player package' /></p>
<p>Price of Microsoft&#8217;s Xbox 360 game console is $400 and it comes with a built-in DVD drive. As of 2/20/07 Microsoft offers the external HD DVD Player to hook up to the console. If you want to add this gadget to your Xbox that is going to cost you an additional $200. That means that you are going to watch high-def movies and play your favorite Xbox games for $600. But as we all know nothing isn&#8217;t perfect and this combination isn&#8217;t exception from this rule. It has some serious issues.<span id="more-824"></span></p>
<p class="image_center"><img src='http://www.previewgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/xbox360_pg01.jpg' alt='Xbox 360 and HD DVD Player combination' /></p>
<p>Set up of HD DVD player is easy enough for everyone. The procedure is next:</p>
<ul>
<li>connect it to the Xbox via a USB 2.0 cable</li>
<li>then install the included Xbox drivers</li>
<li>at the back of the Xbox unit you&#8217;ll find two USB ports for attaching additional Xbox peripherals such as the Wi-Fi adapter or the Xbox Live Vision Camera</li>
</ul>
<p>The Xbox&#8217;s on screen display for viewing disc playback content looks great and the unit&#8217;s response time when loading a disc and exploring it was better than that of the stand alone HD DVD players. Remote that comes with the HD DVD Player has an eject button which controls the Xbox&#8217;s DVD drive tray, but not the HD DVD Player&#8217;s tray. It&#8217;s absurdly that the remote that comes with the HD DVD Player can&#8217;t control it&#8217;s own tray. That is one of the drawbacks off this player. If you want to open the HD DVD Player itself, you must manually press the button on its front.</p>

<p>Video output quality is another big deficit that is going to stop users to use it as a home theater player. Almost all of the stand alone high definition video players can attach to TV and amplifier via an HDMI connection, which lets you watch hi def movies at their max. quality. The Xbox cant be connected to TV and amplifier via an HDMI connection. Everything it can offer is an connection true analog component video, which produces a decent, but not max. quality high definition image.</p>
<p>Based on our notices, if you don&#8217;t already bought an Xbox, you have no real reason to buy these two gadgets to watch HD. A ordinary HD DVD player will give you better video quality(picture and sound), and you don&#8217;t have a real reason to run two devices that are doing the job of one.<br />
